Meizu has unveiled what could be the world's most airtight phone, as the new Zero is a device that quickly attracts attention for its minimalist design with no buttons, connection ports, or any kind of visible hole.
Pure design without limitations
The Meizu Zero is arguably the cleanest-looking phone we've ever seen. Its body is a ceramic casing sealed by a protective glass screen (thus achieving an IP68 rating). There are no holes or openings whatsoever; there's no SIM card tray, microphone holes, speaker grille, or even a visible USB port for charging or data transfer.
So, how are all those common phone operations performed? As you might guess, an 18W wireless charging solution will replenish the device's power, while all data transfers will be done wirelessly. Regarding the SIM, a compatible eSIM service will eliminate the need for a physical card, and for sound, it will utilize mSound 2.0 technology , which transmits audio through the 5,99-inch AMOLED display .
Where are the buttons?
When raising or lowering the volume of the device, or turning on the screen, the device uses mEngine 2.0 technology , which will offer a haptic response similar to pressing a button when we press on the sides of the screen, which offers slightly curved bezels like those of the Galaxy Note 9.
If you are wondering how to turn on the device when it is turned off, we imagine that the solution will be to let it rest on the wireless charging base, a process that will automatically turn on the device.
The phone without buttons at the moment only for China
Although it has been officially unveiled and Meizu distributes it worldwide, this new Zero will initially only be available in China, with a price that is still unknown. Considering its design and main features ( Snapdragon 845 and a dual 12MP and 20MP camera), the price of this model could be at least €800, but we'll have to wait until the manufacturer officially announces it; who knows, perhaps we'll see it at Mobile World Congress.
